   Food was very good, excellent choices especially if you are looking for steak, more limited options if you want an alternative to steak. The tomato basil soup was amazing, as was the chocolate bombe dessert

   Our service started a little rough but after they remembered they seated us it started great. We celebrated our anniversary and got cute little things I never seen other restaurants do. My boyfriend got the New York steak with the works and he loved it but was jealous of my surf and turf. That was the best lobster I have ever had in my life. We will be going again

   The food was quick and delicious. The service was fair but nothing super exceptional. Steak and deserts were fantastic, drinks were stiff. Especially the Brandi Alexander martini. Overall a great experience and fantastic value for what you get.

   Very nice place with very food service. The food was alright, lil on the skimpy side for quantity and quality

   With our reservations we were seated promptly and our drink order was instantly taken and delivered. Jasmine was our server and we never felt rushed as she was great. Our salads and entrees were fabulous. Totally enjoyable experience all around!

   Everyone was friendly and everything tasted fantastic. Service was very good and attentive even though we were in a kind of hidden booth.

   Overall enjoyable experience. Food was delicious! Portions were HUGE! They had a limited Valentine’s Day menu so couldn’t order what I typically get. But very good none-the-less. Service was excellent (Gladys)! Only minor complaint was we were seated at a corner table next to the doors to the kitchen and they were constantly flapping as busy wait staff were going in and out. I almost got hit by one as we were being seated.

   Hi Mark, Thanks for sharing your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed the food and had great service with Gladys. We completely understand how the kitchen doors could be a bit distracting. Hopefully, your next visit will be even more seamless! Looking forward to welcoming you back soon! Cheers, Kaile Kortner Beverage Operations Manager

    Made a rookie mistake by going out for Valentine’s Day. We eat here quite often matter of fact we had the best steak and meal ever a couple months ago.
